Knitting

There has been test-knitting... but also some brainless take-along knitting... Noro... no more words needed!

The miracle of the two different skeins... wonderful!

Over The Helix Cowl... The first one is 120 stitches as said in the pattern, the second is slouchier, 140 stitches, I think... size 8mm needles ... and I still have some yarn left, maybe to make one of those flowers... if I'm capable... =)

This year's shawls so far...

The first shawl of this year was started in Finland from Noro yarn... always beautiful colours.. And Oliver likes it too!

The second shawl is gorgeous 100% cashmere, Filatura di Crosa yarn... absolute luxury, and Stephen Wests lovely pattern Daybreak... love it!

Then there is a ractangular shawl for my mother... the yarn is Impulse of Delight's and the pattern is Spring Leaves.

With some great ladies on Ravelry we did a KAL with yarn dyed especially for us by Tuulia, and we did Stephen West's Akimbo....

And last but not least, I just finished my first project with Wollmeise yarn; the pattern is Haruni and the yarn colour is Pinie... the second photograph shows the true colour.

Lost my mojo - Found my mojo!
